Security officials have stated that former DG ISI, Lieutenant General (Retired) Faiz Hamid, is accused of acting on political directives and is undergoing court martial.

The sources said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi politicised the Indian military and took action against his opponents, and compared this to historical instances where leaders like Adolf Hitler used military forces for political purposes. They added that, Faiz Hameed too was in a responsible position, promoting a specific political party.

Officials stated that the military must maintain a non-political stance with the ruling political party and that all political groups deserve respect.

The sources also emphasised on the military's loyalty to the constitution, asserting there should be no political agendas involved.

Security officials stated that there are more than a dozen terrorist organisations in Afghanistan, and terrorists launch attacks from there.

They affirmed that there will be no dialogue with the Fitna al-Khawarij, recalling that a political party previously attempted to negotiate with extremists, which proved unproductive.

They noted that terrorists are receiving training in Afghanistan and that discussions are ongoing with the interim government to manage these militants.

More than a hundred intelligence-based operations are conducted daily against terrorists, and the officials expressed confidence that the war against terrorism will ultimately be won.

The officials pointed out ongoing terrorist training in Afghanistan and that they are engaging with the interim government to manage these threats.

They confirmed that over a hundred intelligence-based operations are conducted daily against terrorism, vowing to win the war against it.

Additionally, they addressed the issue of criminal gangs in Laki Marwat, stating that protests arise when actions are taken against these groups.

The military is fulfilling responsibilities in Laki Marwat at the provincial government's request and will withdraw when asked.

Officials expressed confidence that peace will soon be restored in southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, although they noted that terrorists are often released due to lack of evidence in courts. They stressed the need for improvements in the criminal justice system and law enforcement to effectively combat terrorism.
